Amada Senior Care
I was a in home caregiver with this company for a short period of time due to the distance between my clients and I. I was losing more money than I was making in gas. I loved the client's I worked with and within a short period of time I had almost every client request me permanently. I disliked the fact that I had to leave the company and my clients but am now looking for a position with a family closer to my area.. My duties included everything from running errands to bathing, exercising,cleaning ,cooking ,mobility and most of all companionship.

I became a Caregiver because I enjoy helping others. I like being able to assist others with chores and duties they cannot fulfill themselves, as well as being a companion to the elderly. A personal achievement I have made is making a difference in someone else's life. I have achieved this by tutoring many students within various school districts in all subjects, and youths both incarcerated and released, but were on probation. I have earned my Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice Admin/Human Services, and plan to start on my Master's degree in the near future in Social work or Psychology. I love spending time with family and worship my four grandsons, they are a true blessing to me! ***My rates vary depending on the type of care needed and for multiple people. I also charge double time on holidays. Thank you, and have a wonderful day!!!
